• NEAR Protocol trading at $2.21, reflecting a 1.28% decline in the last 24 hours.

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) is currently trading at $2.21, marking a 1.28% dip over the past 24 hours. Despite the slight decline, the asset’s 24-hour trading volume rose to $245.09 million, up 38.36%, suggesting heightened market activity. Over the past week, however, NEAR has seen a 7.99% drop, reflecting continued caution among investors as the broader crypto market grapples with uncertainty.

Market analysts note that NEAR’s price action remains confined within a parallel channel pattern, a formation that often precedes decisive directional moves. With the token currently hovering near the lower boundary of this channel, traders are closely watching for a support bounce, which could mark the start of a multi-week rally.

Market Sentiment on NEAR Remains Divided

Crypto analyst Jonathan Carter highlighted that NEAR’s compression phase within the parallel channel could be nearing completion. “A support rebound from the current level may trigger a bullish setup,” Carter explained, projecting potential price targets at $2.60, $3.55, $4.70, $5.90, and ultimately $7.55.

Carter added that “strong support zones often act as the foundation for powerful upward movements,” suggesting that current conditions might offer a favorable entry point for medium-term traders. Market sentiment, however, remains divided, as global crypto indicators continue to reflect mixed trends across major tokens.

NEAR Price Prediction for 2025 

According to DigitalCoinPrice, NEAR Protocol could achieve an average price range of $3.62 to $4.86 by the end of 2025, potentially approaching its previous all-time high of $20.42 in the long term. Analysts at the firm attribute this optimistic outlook to anticipated developments in decentralized applications and layer-one blockchain adoption.

Meanwhile, Changelly’s projection for 2025 is comparatively conservative. Their analysis places NEAR’s average price at $2.67, with a potential ROI of 16.6%. For October 2025, Changelly expects the token to fluctuate between $2.22 and $2.32, suggesting a period of consolidation before any significant upward move.
